Now don't you blokes go getting all excited now but here's a pic of me at a waterhole near in the rain forest near Montville, Queensland. It was quite cool there, about 26C!

The other is my Sprint after a tub. No washing salt and icy crud off this bad boy, we don't get that here...

Enjoy,

Roden

Thank you Roden for reminding us of the clear shortage of young attractive female sprint riders. This was never a problem when I used to ride a girls bike!

I have a T3 sprint my friend, complete with Flux Capacitor.

Nah, not really, I put new batteries in the camera and screwed the date up. I probably should change it!

Cheers,

Roden

Thumbs down

No pic's from me - but just picture in your mind....

100's of miles of 6-16 inches of snow piled on top of snow...

Icy roadways that 4-wheel drive vehicles have a hard time roaming on...

-21 this very morning, no wind chill added -- freekin' negative 21 F THIS morning..!!

no end in sight -

I am doomed staying here in Des Moines, Iowa (Dull Moan, AahWuh)
So much for thinking of riding in the next few months...!

Off my soapbox now...

I'm still riding (it's 42f right now)...

Tonight it's supposed to get down to 16, tomorrow night 13.
At least we don't get any of the slippery white stuff

Here's my ride being woken up after a couple of weeks in a cold garage. All the ice has finally gone [for the moment] it was a balmy 8 degrees today. Dry roads, sticky tyres. Its days like today that remind me what an awesome bike we ride. Keeping the revs around 6k and above the bike really comes alive, and what a soundtrack...preeching to the converted tho
